Bill Murphy of Grafton, MA, will be participating in The Great World Race this November 15-21. Murphy is doing The Great World Race and “Running The World For Wishes,” fundraising for Make-A-Wish^® Massachusetts and Rhode Island, which grants life-changing wishes for local children with critical illnesses. The race involves visiting seven continents in seven days, running a marathon on each one.

A member of the Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island Board of Directors, Murphy has been a supporter of our organization for 20 years. Already somewhat familiar with Make-A-Wish as his cousin was a wish recipient, Murphy was inspired to learn more after encountering wish recipients while he was traveling. Since becoming involved, he has raised and contributed over half a million dollars to Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island through personal donations and efforts as well as monetary support through his company, Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation, for which he is the local Branch Manager in Auburn, MA.
